STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl actually Finished ???

Loki · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:14

According to Gamesradar Anyway

Really hope so as I have been looking forward to this for a long time now. Seems to be a shortage of good FPS in the pipeline atm

Nieldo · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:37

Ahhhh STALKER

It looks so cool! and I might even be able to run it now I have upgraded so Im looking forward to it.

I know they have recently released a book about the game, not available in English tho. If they have finished it and they are simply trying to cash in on the hype with more books etc, I will not be impressed

. Thanks for the link tho! this gives me more hope that it will be released soon!

man this would make a great engine for a zombie survival game, even tho it is already a survival game

It's not exactly finished then if they've not done cutscenes + testings then, that could take months and months to get bugs out etc. Doubt we'll see it this half of the year unless an official word/story appears.

Nieldo, your sig breaks the rules, only allowed 4 lines of text.

I thougt it was due for release in september now.

Loki · 10 Jan 2006 at 15:54

Hmm assuming DaveyD Is Right (Hail Hail)then September might be ambitious unless of course it will be released in the same way that BF2 was and let the public find out, report the bugs and let EA take all the glory for it. Not that I am Bitter about BF2 :mad:

I dont want them to skip out the testing, we dont want another Boiling Point

Too right

I guess it's finished in the same way a cake is made. They have added all the ingredients (nothing more will be added) and have mixed it all together, now it's got to bake and cool before it's ready

hmm cake

here is something interesting i read on oblivion-lost.com which i was made aware of by this thread on the official GSC forum
http://www.gsc-game.com/index.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr&lang=en&offset=0

"Playground.ru has posted a fresh interview with Oleg Yavorsky. Here is our translation:

Q: Recently, the fan site http://www.stalker-world.com.ua has stated that GSC has practically finished work on S.T.A.L.K.E.R..
What can you say about this? Can you confirm the information?
A: It is not a secret that the development is in its final stages. But we have not yet said that the game is finished."

ScarySquirrel · 10 Jan 2006 at 18:54

i was really excited about this game, now it bores me. they released info way too early imo

Trixxy · 10 Jan 2006 at 19:02

I upgraded my 8500 to a 9700np about 3 years ago to play this after I saw that video they released around the same time.

We'll all be using dx10 cards by the time it comes out.

Nieldo · 13 Jan 2006 at 21:03

I was just watching the E3 2003 walkthru vid. Can someone tell me what the best gfx card was around them times?

if a card from that year could run it then surly my card will play fine

.

Im starting to get hyped up again about this game, I used to check the website every day hoping for an update but since then not so much. But now this news is out and it looks like it might be closer to a release Im all over it.

Meh its another DNF

Nieldo · 13 Jan 2006 at 22:00

Psyk · 13 Jan 2006 at 22:02

Duke Nukem Forever. A game that has been in development nearly 10 years and was originally going to be released in 1997.

chopchop · 13 Jan 2006 at 22:08

this has been know about for a few months, was in final testing(balancing+bug fixing) before xmas and they gave a rough release date of around october 2006.

Nieldo · 13 Jan 2006 at 22:08

Oh I thought he was saying something helpful

BruceLee · 14 Jan 2006 at 09:41

oooh yay, forgive me if i dont get too excited considering we've been hearing "its almost finished" for around 3 years...

One day they will release this, but its dragging on ridiculously now, I am sure it will be a great game and its one I have been looking forward to for years now (unfortunately), but they need to get it out!!

or they might do a team fortress 2 on us and just not say anything for 3 years...

i was so looking forward to TF2, but now all the ideas/features that it was supposed to have, and that seemed good at the time, have been nabbed by loads of other titles.

i remember being well impressed by these pics... heh

TF2 could have been good, but unless they pull something out of the bag, I don't know what to think. I don't see the Source engine being as good for tanks etc as BF2 is, need to see what kind of open multiplayer maps you can get.
